The Metrocrest Medical Foundation has partnered with Carrollton-Farmers Branch ISD school nurses, Carrollton Police Department, local dermatologists (Michael Maris, Rebecca Euwer, and Dennis Newton), RHD Memorial Medical Center, and Southwest Ancillary for the past 12 years to offer the D-Tag Removal Program for students in the Metrocrest area. These are students who choose to get out of the gang lifestyle; and this program provides the opportunity for removal of homemade gang related tattoos, to foster self-esteem, personal growth and recovery from the gang lifestyle. Students hit barriers because of visible tattoos when looking for employment or joining the armed forces. They must complete 10 hours of community service for each laser session…sometimes as many as 8 or 10. The check was presented April 4, 2007. “Metrocrest Medical Foundation is excited to partner with the WHO Foundation to provide this valuable benefit to these students which ultimately impacts the entire community,” says Cia Bond, MMF Executive Director. For more information on the D-Tag program or the Metrocrest Medical Foundation in general, please visit their website at www.mmftx.org or contact them directly at One Medical Parkway, Suite 202, Farmers Branch, TX 75234, 972-247-0286.
Alcoa-Presto Products Company of Carrollton attended a recent D-TAG session to present MMF with a check for $300 to be used toward the program. Raul Soriano, Blanca Villarreal, and Josef Levi were there to present the check to MMF, talk to the students, physician, and CFBISD nurses, and to personally see the tattoo removal process.
Ms. Villarreal said
"We are so glad that we participated and all I can say is "WOW", what
an experience!!! We are very pleased to know the funds that Alcoa can
provide to the Metrocrest Medical Foundation go to a very good cause."
It is because of community involvement from corporations such as Alcoa, as well as individuals, that this program is able to continue to better the lives of young people in our community.
